I loved Freakonomics!
So, when Steven Levitt wrote an article called A Star is Born, in the New York Times, I had to read it.
Levitt was talking about the question of talent. How do talented people get so good at what they do?
Say it, PRACTICE!
And, if you’re goin to have to practice, practice, practice why not …
"Ericsson’s research suggests a third cliché as well: when it comes to
choosing a life path, you should do what you love — because if you
don’t love it, you are unlikely to work hard enough to get very good.
Most people naturally don’t like to do things they aren’t "good" at. So
they often give up, telling themselves they simply don’t possess the
talent for math or skiing or the violin. But what they really lack is
the desire to be good and to undertake the deliberate practice that
would make them better."
